In Phenomena—Critique—Logos Michael Marder rethinks the phenomenological project in light of the centrality of critique and self-critique, thus illuminating the seismic motility of thinking as it addresses and articulates phenomena. Such a critical sensibility remarkably spans the work of Husserl, Heidegger, Levinas, Arendt, and Derrida, urging a reassessment of the relation between phenomenology and Kantian philosophy.

Marder’s well-written book undertakes a radical interrogation of phenomenology in light of recent discussions in contemporary philosophy on the possibility of critique.  In its range of study it is truly an insightful work of original scholarship.

- James Risser, Professor of Philosophy, Seattle University,

With care and courage, Michael Marder has written a critique of phenomenological reason. It is a necessary work for the past, the present, and the future of phenomenology.
